Top Gun: Maverick [Blu-ray]

Consistent great action, dialogue, and character interaction and interrelationship easy to follow given the story line of history between the characters. Overall, well-picked supporting cast making for an entertaining and great Tom Cruise film!

The 4K remaster looks incredible—colors pop and the detail is super sharp. The Dolby Atmos audio hits hard too, especially with the soundtrack. Extras are solid, with behind-the-scenes stuff that’s worth checking out.

After watching the original dozens of times and still finding it inspirational (if maybe a bit dated) after almost 40 years, I eagerly awaited the launch of Maverick in the theatres. Saw it 4 times now with friends and family members, and wanted to add the DVD to my library so I could watch it regardless of whether On Demand was available.No need to elaborate at length on the subject matter or exceptional attention paid to detail by Tom Cruise in developing the movie plot and filming the action scenes. Quite sure other reviewers cover that. I have always believed in the need for a strong national defense and the need to honor our active duty military and veterans. It has some modern touches without falling into a woke ditch. Personalities of the flyers and ground crew, and naturally the "love interest", all exhibited a good balance of bravado, humor, anxiety, fear, and sadness at moments (Val Kilmer scenes). Few sequels equal the quality of the original, but this one does, and certainly edges it out in special effects but no surprise there. This movie had me captured in the opening scenes with the 'Mach 10' 6th (7th gen) fighter test reminiscent of a 21st century interpretation of the famed SR-71. Sexy, powerful, cool, loud -- and know what is going to happen - but who cares - sip your soda and gulp down some more pop corn - the ride has begun.The audio and visual quality of the BlueRay disk is up to snuff and renders decent with my 2K TV and my older 720p model too. I like the extras. And the price was reasonable and shipping was fast. What is not to like? Checks all the boxes. So pleased that Tom Cruise made this happen.

This is even better than the original Top Gun. I can’t think of any ways they could‘be made this movie any better honestly. I was quite surprised at how good it was.

I did not go into this with high expectations and I was very pleasantly surprised.

This is quite possibly the best sequel to a film I've ever seen. Better than Robocop 2, better than Rush Hour 2, better than Smile 2, that dang good.I absolutely HATE how Hollywood has neutered male blockbuster film action stars. We no longer have household names we can attach to a big budget Hollywood popcorn flick. They're all interchangeable now, which makes it easier for them to be replaced.The fact that Tom decided to finally make a sequel to this film and saw it Cruise to the Billionaire Boys Club in the box office says that, outside of DC and Marvel, no modern day male action star move the needle. Even John Wick 4, which is INCREDIBLE, didn't hit the billy mark.When Tom hangs it up, the action movie world will be worse off for it. Do yourselves a favor and buy this film and support the last great action hero.You can also do like me and make it your Christmas movie. That way you don't wear it out. Dec 25, 2025 can't come soon enough.

Top Gun MAVERICK is the blockbuster of all blockbusters. The movie is produced perfectly from start to finish. Everything was perfectly delivered. The 3cinematography and visuals was really well researched and splendidly filmed with the perfect subject focus, correct angles and lighting effect. The production was absolute perfection with Tom Cruise calling the shots. The soundtrack is the best ever, beautiful and fits the scene and moods ideally. A truly masterful work of art by the soundtrack masters Hans Zimmer, and Harold Faltermeyer. And Lady Gaga added the wonderful finishing touches at the end of the movie. The casting was definitely on point with the perfect stars playing the ideal character. The editing was amazing. Tom Cruise's supporting cast delivers a spectacular spot on performance. And see a few big egos get put in check along the way. You will see character development and growth.The movie starts by playing the Top Gun Anthem, moving right into the Danger Zone while watching flight deck operations launching the powerful F-18 fighter jet. See the jets being catapulted 300 feet from zero to 165 mph in 2 seconds during launching. Hear their roar, and actually feel the rumble of the afterburners blazing fire as they're climbing skyward. With several cameras mounted in the cockpit of the jets, you feel like you are actually in the cockpit pulling G's, and making hairpin turns with the pilot . You may need a barf bag! 🤮 See the greatest flying scenes ever filmed. The movie is sheer excitement and suspense. You will be on the edge of your seat throughout the movie. The action is non-stop.

He remains with all of us in spirit.Seems nobody trusts or believes in Maverick. But watch him prove them all wrong. He puts all doubters in check.The final mission scene will certainly blow your senses away with intense and emotional scenes like explosions, crashes, and teamwork.

Great quality, and family entertainment at its best!Recommend!

I loved the first Top Gun in my youth, but I really appreciated the more intelligent plot of Maverick. Val Kilmer's cameo appearance was also a nice touch and very timely. My review might be driven at bit by sentimentality because I see someone my age still kicking ass while helping others. I really enjoyed Tom Cruise's character because he didn't go over the top while still doing Top Gun action. I'll be watching it again soon because I probably really think it's a 5.
